I don't think Yaya will leave City.
I'm sure they'll make up for his birthday cake issue at Halloween.

Why is anyone even voting Utd? They currently have 0 defenders and anybody decent won't go there because of no European football.

agree except i cant see arse getting head top placeSmalling, Evans and Phil jones, are more than capable of stepping up as centre halfs, they now have the opportunity, however I'd still like someone a bit more experienced in there as well, but with a good solid midfield purchase (Vidal) it could be sufficient. Going forward they have the ability in Mata, Kagawa, Rooney, Van Persie and Janujaz and the newly purchased Hererra. Hopefully Van Gaal will bring out the best in the fringe players (Nani/Young who do have the talent, they just lack the consistency). There are youngsters there who could stake a claim for a squad position also.
No european football, means we can focus solely on the domestic side of things, and that for me gives us the perfect chance to bounce back into the champions league next year. They just need someone to remind them that they play for one of the best clubs in the world and that dropping your standard by 5% isn't acceptable, I'm hoefuly that Van Gaal is the right man.

oh man i agreed with scouseUnited will spend big. Liverpool without Suarez?![]()
Ok you're pretty blind, nobody that would instantly rocket them back into European football will be willing to join, people in their prime, it's all well and good buying 18 year olds giving them 120k a week and saying they'll be good in the future but to maintain their commercial aspect of the club they need instant success, you need proven players, and no proven player will be willing to join a club without European football, big club or not. They want to go to a club and win trophys in the prime of their career, not be part of a project. Also clubs are ripping you off already for players, to sign anyone of world class stature will cost Utd a lot more than a club with European football.
Utd basically need to buy a whole defence, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Jonny Evans are useless. Jones is the only one with any promise really. Trying to find world class defenders ready to make a move is tricky.
The last time we had no European football was over a decade agoMan City and Chelsea seemed to manage to get players in fine with no European football.
I meant more when Roman started your current reign. You did not need to wait until you were winning things to get big players.The last time we had no European football was over a decade ago
Man City had to spend a few years buying non-world class players for world class prices. Man Utd could attract world class players if they go for the right targets imo, as in players who aren't being sought after by clubs with equal funds and CL football.
Wouldnt that change in formation mean you need to buy at least two center midfielders? Also a right-back wouldn't hurt. Rafael is a liability.
